MintIliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Xianfeng era (1851-1853) of the Qing dynasty, which was a time of great turmoil and change in China. The coin's mintage location in South Xinjiang (Xinjiang region) makes it a rare and unique piece, as most coins from this era were minted in the capital city of Beijing. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
